Saramago Reconstructed is my Final Thesis (BA)
for the Lahti Institute of Design.
Saramago Reconstructed
is a visual essay on the relationship between language and type.
The research explores rhythm in written language in the novel Blindness by José Saramago. It compares original Portugese with English and Finnish translations of the novel documenting the process by means of information aesthetics.
The end product is a model for visualizing language.
A computer code transforms the letters of the written language into animated representations in a video format.
